The East Coast Main Line extends 393 miles from London to Edinburgh with a 30 mile branch from Doncaster to Leeds, and a project to electrify the route was approved by Government on 27th July, 1984. The author using simple but powerful techniques, it is possible to plan the implementation of a major railway electrification project such that it can be executed with virtually no impact on the existing service, customers or revenues. It is also possible to prepare accurate estimates of outlays such that the authorised monies are just sufficient for the task.
